They will prepare a range of food to taste as a culinary celebration of both Chumash and Mexican cultures, with tasting, chatting and gaining insights into day-to-day life in the Mission Era. This will not be a lecture, and more of an event. Truly an exciting evening not to be missed!

 

Maria is a retired school teacher and an active member of the community. She has been volunteering with the Mission for over 15 years, and is active all across the property between the parish, museum, archive, and with the Franciscans. Elise, a member of the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians and an SBMAL board member, describes her relationship with the land and food -- “I’ve been fortunate to have been raised and grew up in the Santa Ynez Valley, my indigenous land. Growing up with a family that lived off the land, by gathering, growing beautiful gardens, hunting and fishing, raising chickens and a few cattle. The land was a provider for all, sometimes harsh, sometimes plentiful, but what was done for generations, the offering of our prepared food, was an act of necessity, but what I will always remember.  An act prepared by love and kindness.”
